Yellow Jacket

This is one of my birthday jackets!  It's been sitting in my closet for over a month, waiting for the big day.  I bought this one initially, then found one in real leather.  I ordered that one as well, but believe it or not the real leather looked more fake than the fake leather.  The fake leather also fit better, so I kept that one.

I feel like a poster for fall today,  not only because of the jacket but also the colors I am wearing: mustard jacket, navy belt, burgundy shoes.  Did I leave out any fall colors?  And how cute is this rhinestone belt!  I wore it with the clasp in back so that the stones would show in front, but it was a pain after I drank a Coke and had to keep going to the bathroom.

And I finally got my nails redone this past weekend. I knew I was remiss when a woman who had been in the hospital for over a month, she literally almost died, looked at me and told me I needed to get my nails done!

I stuck with the color changing polish. This one is teal when my fingers are warm and purple when they are cool.  They are prettiest however when they are teal with purple tips.

Isn't this a great blazer?  When I bought it my dear friend Supriti suggested I remove the sequins.  And I remember thinking, why would I do that?  I do like the sequins, but even though they are much sparer than on my other blouse (here) these feel much more obvious.  I hesitated to wear it to work, but I figured I could take off the blazer when I got there.  Then a couple of coworkers complimented it, so it stayed on.
The necklace comes with a matching bracelet.  I bought the set for my mom, knowing full well she wouldn't like it and I would get to keep it!  Devious, I know.  But it is the only time I have pulled that trick.
Now we come to the shoes.  My recent closet cleanout also involved going through my shoes (even though they are in a different closet; talk about dedication!).  I've had these for a long time, ten years or so, and as you can see they are in great shape.  Mainly because I have barely worn them.  For some reason I feel the need to match part of my outfit to these shoes, and I draw a complete blank coming up with other possibilities.  Any suggestions?
